"Twenty years from now you'll be more dissapointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

head spinning,
heart pounding,
feet running on the pavement.

don't look back,
you'll just get caught,
you'll never leave.

head spinning,
heart pounding,
feet running on the pavement.

just keep going,
going and running,
from the life you can't avoid.

head spinning,
hear pounding,
feet running on the pavement.

leave now,
it's time to go,
farther and farther away.
